Silk is a kind of fabric that people love very much. It has the advantages of comfort and good water absorption. However, some illegal merchants on the market produce many fake silks for personal gain. Today, I will show you how to identify silk.
Real silk refers to fabrics made of mulberry silk for both warp and weft, or fabrics woven from natural silk such as tussah silk, tapioca silk, and castor silk. Its types are diverse, such as real silk satin, real silk double wrinkle, etc., which are hygroscopic and cool to wear and breathe. Lightness, comfort and other advantages, whether there are rich, serious and elegant satin, cotton, velvet, etc., suitable for cheongsam, etc., deeply loved by consumers. Fake silk refers to fabrics made of man-made fibers, synthetic fibers blended with silk, or pure man-made fibers or synthetic fibers, such as the imitation silk currently on the market. Customers will mistake them for real silk if they are not careful.
Touch method
Real silk fabrics have a soft luster, bright, bright and uniform color, soft touch, slippery hand, no handle, but cool feeling, artificial silk silk surface is easy to wrinkle, shiny and dazzling, without the natural luster of silk It feels sticky, rough and hard, without cooling sensation.
Combustion method
When burned, silk has the smell of burning and fluffy, it is difficult to continue burning, and will self-extinguish. The ashes are fragile, brittle, loose, and black. When rayon (viscose fiber) is burned, there is a chemical smell of burning paper. Continue to burn extremely fast. The ashes have no ashes except those without light, and there are a few gray-black ash among them. Cotton and polyester have a very weak sweetness when burned, do not continue to burn directly or slowly, and the ashes are hard round and beaded. Both cotton and hemp have the smell of burning paper, and the ashes are soft and dark gray. Wool is similar to silk when burned. It can be seen by visual inspection that the two are different.
Listen to the sound
Compared to boring real silk, when they conflict with each other, they will announce loud movements called silk ming or silk ming. When the fabric surfaces conflict with each other, there is no silk jingling characteristic of real silk, and it sticks to the skin, giving it a sultry feeling.
